In this 4-part, 2-day clinic, learn visualization techniques to optimize your dressage performance for competition and pleasure. Participants will walk away with new perspectives and practical tools to bring your best self for you and your horse.

Who this clinic is for:

Competitive riders who know that they sometimes get in their own way and want to do better

Riders who are tired of struggling through their dressage tests

Riders who want to create better connection and teamwork with their horse

Part 1Saturday - unmounted - 9 am - 12 pm

In part 1, you'll experience a visualization guided by me. I'll guide you to identify your sensory preferences, your riding priorities and to create a powerful, personalized visualization for your ideal ride. Additionally, you'll have an opportunity to release mental blocks that are no longer serving you, with the support of my intuitive and loving coaching horse.

Part 2Saturday - mounted - 1 pm - 5 pm

In part 2, you'll put your new found awareness into practice on horseback. In semi-private lessons, you'll have the opportunity to bring your visualization to life, practice your ideal rides and receive coaching support in creating the shifts you desire.

Part 3Sunday - unmounted - 9 am - 12pm

Part 3 is an exploration and examination of how we reclaim our power to choose our focus as well as our response to challenges. Through group coaching, you'll develop a deeper understanding of the different aspects, or parts, of yourself that either block or promote your success. My equine coaching herd will be present to support shifts to a more empowered way-of-being.

Part 4Sunday - mounted - 1 pm- 5 pm

In part 4, you'll integrate your new awareness and skills with your own horse through mounted semi-private lessons. Riders will practice their ideal rides, receive feedback and coaching, and have an opportunity to process as a group.

InvestmentParticipants can choose to participate in 1-day only (Saturday) or the full 2-day clinic experience. Space is limited to 6 full participants for an intimate and profound experience. Please note that there is no auditing for this event.

Testimonials

“A huge thank you to Emily Glidden for helping my students with body awareness/control over the weekend. With just small changes in the riders' seats the horses changed dramatically. She is truly a gifted teacher.”~ Beverly Rogers, USEF “S” Dressage Judge

“Emily has a fine eye for a rider's ease and seat in the saddle backed up by tools to help you shift what is not working for you and your horse. My session with her was phenomenal! I highly recommend her to anyone looking to change their riding experience from the ‘inside out."~ Ellen, L., Virginia

“I took three lessons with Emily and it completely changed and corrected my seat and my understanding of how a horse communicates. She coached me through specific exercises on the ground and in saddle, which enabled me to become more aware of my existing body mechanics and make the necessary changes to become centered in the saddle. Emily’s kind and gentle demeanor made me feel relaxed, comfortable and self-assured as I went through the process of implementing small, yet significant changes to my body position while on my horse. Not only is Emily knowledgeable about proper technique and body mechanics; she is patient, capable, and simply a wonderful person to work with. I am looking forward to more lessons with this gifted teacher. Thank you Emily!!"~ Dayna G., Arizona
